this week over at scrap and stamp Saturday i have an easy paint resist tutorial for you. head on over to see what the other design team girls have done ...

you can create your own beautiful patterned papers and accents

you will need: white card stock, white acrylic paint, foam brush or sponge, craft sheet to protect your surface, distress ink or glimmer mist.

1. gather your supplies

2. add a dollop of white acrylic paint directly onto your card stock. use your sponge to move the paint around. leave some open spaces where the paint does not cover the card stock. leave the paint to dry naturally or use your heat gun to speed up the process.

3. using the direct to paper technique add some colour. drag your ink pad across the entire piece of card stock.

4. use a soft tissue or baby wipe to clean off the ink from the painted areas. because the paint resists the ink the ink simply sits on top of the paint and can be wiped clean.

5. some alternatives you may try: stamp images using foam stamps or detailed rubber stamps and then add your colour. they make for fun backgrounds, photo matts and accents on your layouts and cards.
